How much Money Rajamouli Getting From Varanasi!

Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu are currently collaborating for Varanasi, which happens to be one of the costliest ever films in the history of Indian cinema. While this project is in the production stage, let us have a discussion about the financial matters.

A strong rumor is currently doing the rounds in film industry circles about director Rajamouli and his upcoming project with Mahesh Babu. As per the talk, Rajamouli has chosen a unique payment model for this film.

Instead of taking a fixed remuneration, he has reportedly taken the complete overseas rights of the movie as his compensation. Sources close to the team claim that the valuation of these overseas rights is said to be more than Rs 160 crore. This is being linked to Rajamouli’s massive global market after the success of his previous films, which performed extremely well outside India. Trade experts believe that overseas audiences have huge expectations from this project, making the deal highly valuable.

The rumor also suggests that Mahesh Babu is not just acting in the film but is also a partner in the project. According to estimates doing the rounds, his share from the film could work out to nearly Rs 200 crore if things go as planned. There is no official confirmation from the makers so far. However, the buzz itself shows the kind of scale and expectations surrounding this film. Even before shooting picks up speed, the project is already creating serious discussion in trade and fan circles.
